title: [A case of loco-regional recurrence of carcinoma of the male breast].
abstract: The case of a 47-year-old man surgically treated with Halsted mastectomy for breast cancer and submitted to Tamoxifen therapy for more than four years is reported. A loco-regional recurrence following withdrawal of oestrogen antagonist therapy was observed and surgically treated by local excision. Normal karyotype analysis of peripheral leucocytes, normal male phenotype of the patient, his height and the lack of family history for breast cancer, as well as a possible dysfunction of the endocrine system were considered in the aetiopathogenesis of the disease.
